My jewelry that is! Thanks to all of you who keep writing in and asking! The “bling” I wore for all me segments with Aaron Task and the fab Henry Blodget on Yahoo! tech Ticker are from ethically-mined Gold company, Real-jewels.com.

Remain Calm! All is well! That’s what the media-and the current administration– want you to think. Green Shoots. But I disagree. Look at Jobless claims. Look at the new home foreclosure data. Its BAD. And, excuse me but “less bad” doesn’t mean “better” in my book. I said all this and more in my chat […]

Ok–Those of you who follow The Talented Blonde know that she doesn’t mince words when it comes to retail and um . . .those stocks or concepts or managements who suck. $ANF Abercrombie & Fitch is one of those retail names who has lost its way due to the hubris (read laziness?) of its management […]

Um–are you SERIOUS?! Woody Allen is suing uber retailer American Apparel (APP) over using his image in some of their creative. What cracks me up is that Woody believes that AMERICAN APPAREL is somehow tarnishing HIS image. Um, dude . . .didn’t you marry YOUR DAUGHTER? Seriously . . . _TB

Ouch–you knew the quarter was gonna be painful over at Under Armour (UA)but geeeez. Tons O’ inventory out there that needs to go away. Great brand, but young, and the management team needs to step it up. Remember–anytime you try to go against NIKE (NKE) in the footwear market, you get CRUSHED. One word: OAKLEY. […]

Here’s one more reason to love this Japanese retailer owned by the publicly-held Fast Retailing (TYO:9983). They collaborate with huge vendors to keep profits high and your prices low! Watch the saucy video here:

So, The Talented Blonde hates victory laps . . . but, you can’t deny that Japanese phenom FAST RETAILING kicked major retail ass-ets this December–a Herculean task in the global recession we are all in. Go with me BEHIND the brand, as I interview Shin Odake, the COO of UNIQLO, their hottest concept and new SOHO […]
